Taylor Swift fans might know Kim Kardashian as a high school bully named Aimee these days — but the reality star stayed far away from the topic during her interview on Monday night’s (April 22) taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“Life is good, yes,” Kardashian told host Jimmy Kimmel as she settled into her seat. The beauty mogul’s optimism came days after she was basically named-dropped in a song off Swift’s new double album, “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,” which dropped last Friday (April 19).
The track in question is titled “thanK you aIMee” — and eagle-eyed Swifties quickly noticed that the capitalized letters spelled out Kardashian’s first name. The lyrics equate the SKIMS founder to a “bronze” and “spray-tanned” school bully whom Swift says her mother used to wish “dead.”
Despite Swift’s diss track going viral, Kimmel did not ask Kardashian about the song during their sit-down. Instead, they talked about her new SKIMS nipple bra and her role on American Horror Story: Delicate.
“Missed opportunity for Jimmy to address Taylor Swift’s song ‘thanK you aIMee,” one viewer commented under the YouTube video of the interview. Another added, “You should have asked her about the Taylor Swift song.”
A third person fumed, “Never mentioned the Taylor Swift song?! C’mon Jimmy!” while someone else wrote on Instagram, “She got lucky not in hot seat about Taylor. Lol.”
Someone else praised Kardashian for staying quiet, writing, “Mom is good at getting that press. Go on late night and act like you just don’t give an eff!”
The two women began feuding in 2016 after Kardashian’s now ex-husband Kanye West upset Swift with his song “Famous,” in which he sang that he “made that bitch famous,” referring to the 2009 Video Music Awards when he stormed the stage in the middle of Swift’s acceptance speech and declared that Beyoncé should’ve won the award instead.
Kardashian claimed Swift “approved” the song and shared what the singer later said was an “illegally” recorded and “edited” video of her phone call with West on social media.
“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before,” Swift told Time magazine last year. “I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”
